Research:
The overall goal is screening the potential of medicinal plants to regress the cancer progression, and
decoding molecular pathways of bioactive compounds against cancer development. The life style
factors also an important factor of carcinogenesis. The role of life style factors like consumption of
smokeless tobacco, areca nut in inducing oral cancer and identification of potential biomarker for
early detection is one of my research areas. Besides, role of tight junction proteins in cancer
progression and its mitigation by the use of potential phytochemicals is my research goal since the
day of my doctoral research. An approach involving molecular biology, genetic toxicology, cell
biology and analytical chemistry is used to uncover a number of questions related to effects of life
style factors and carcinogenic agents in carcinogenesis. Also, the potential of antioxidants from
natural sources to ameliorate such effects is also one of my research interests.
